Crock Pot Hawaiian Meatballs are a sweet and savory slow-cooked dish featuring juicy meatballs simmered in a pineapple-soy sauce blend. Effortless to prepare and packed with tropical flavor, they’re perfect for parties, potlucks, or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

  • 1 (32 oz) bag frozen meatballs (or homemade, pre-cooked)
  • 1 (20 oz) can pineapple chunks with juice
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch (optional)
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped (optional)
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped (optional)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Green onions or sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, barbecue sauce (if using), and minced garlic.
  2. Add frozen meatballs to the crock pot. Pour sauce over them and add pineapple chunks and bell peppers.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours or high for 2–3 hours, until meatballs are heated through and sauce is bubbling.
  4. If thickening, mix cornstarch with water and stir into the crock pot 30 minutes before serving. Let cook uncovered to thicken.
  5. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds. Serve over rice, noodles, or as appetizers.

Notes

  • Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for heat.
  • Use homemade meatballs for a fresher option.
  • Add extra veggies like onion, zucchini, or snap peas.
  • Stir in coconut milk at the end for a tropical twist.
